Sands of time & Pearls of wisdom

Something my friend D.O.X. Diggla from the USA posted on Facebook that struck a chord in my soul, which is in relation to some of my posts, especially my most recent two.

Men are led by their second heads (Majority). Women are led by their emotions (Majority). What we need to learn is self-discipline.

I could not have agreed with him any further. These are now my PEARLS of wisdom to carry around my neck, close to my heart.

I am sure I have mentioned in my previous posts that I struggle with self-discipline/ procrastination between the two (or both). I am trying to apply self-discipline with regards to reaching my goals and with men to be honest. I must add to the latter, that because I am a person that crumbles at compromises, it does chip away at my discipline, to a point where I notice that I am enabling a disrespectful behaviour.

When we don’t practice discipline, we enable disrespect, into our plans, into our time, and into our relationships (all forms). The approach that I have adapted with releasing this lack of self-discipline with regards to my -

• Goals: I do each project in small amounts every day. “Little drops make the mighty ocean.”, and I have a cousin that holds me accountable, and my mom too.

• Relationships: I have non-negotiables that I have drawn in the sand. I know if you cross that line, there is no restoration from there, respectfully so. The biggest one as an example is TIME. If you waste my time literally and don’t have the etiquette to let me know in advance after I have had a conversation with you about this, then that’s it for me. (My past relationships have contributed to this specific non-negotiable).

• Education: I study my modules in small amounts every day, I have a calendar to keep my schedule, and I have a friend that wakes me up at between 7 – 7.20 am to study.

TIP: Do not beat yourself up if you have a lazy day or two. Just, don’t make it a habit. Practice makes perfect.
